WARNING: Do not smoke, carry lighted tobacco or have an open flame of any type when working on or near any fuel-related component. Highly flammable mixtures are always present and may be ignited. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING: Do not carry personal electronic devices such as cell phones, pagers or audio equipment of any type when working on or near any fuel-related component. Highly flammable mixtures are always present and may be ignited. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING: When handling fuel, always observe fuel handling precautions and be prepared in the event of fuel spillage. Spilled fuel may be ignited by hot vehicle components or other ignition sources. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING: Clean all fuel residue from the engine compartment. If not removed, fuel residue may ignite when the engine is returned to operation. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.
NOTE: During engine repair procedures, cleanliness is extremely important. Any foreign material, including any material created while cleaning gasket surfaces that enters the oil passages, coolant passages or the oil pan, may cause engine failure.
NOTE: Whenever turbocharger air intake system components are removed, always cover open ports to protect from debris. It is important that no foreign material enter the system. The turbocharger compressor vanes are susceptible to damage from even small particles. All components should be inspected and cleaned, if necessary, prior to installation or reassembly.
NOTE: The engine comes equipped with either a roller primary timing chain or an inverted tooth primary timing chain. The roller timing chain engine comes equipped with either a composite RH timing chain guide requiring the timing chain to ride on the outer side of the guide or a stamped steel RH timing chain guide requiring the timing chain to ride on the inner side of the guide. All roller timing chain engine replacement RH timing chain guides will be the stamped steel design.
NOTE: Early build engine cylinder heads and fuel injectors differ in design than late build engines. Although these parts are serviced in the same way, the parts are not interchangeable between early build and late build engines. The level of cylinder heads and fuel injectors can be determined by inspecting the engine code label. Early build engines are built through 09/14/2010 (0S 490 BA) and late build engines are built on or after 09/15/2010 (1S 490 BA).
NOTE: A clean working environment is essential to prevent dirt or foreign material contamination into the fuel rails.
NOTE: For additional information, refer to the exploded view under the ASSEMBLY  procedure .

    NOTE: Do not use wire brushes, power abrasive discs or 3M™ Roloc® Bristle Disk (2-in white, part number 07528) to clean the sealing surfaces. These tools cause scratches and gouges that make leak paths. They also cause contamination that will cause premature engine failure. Remove all traces of sealant.
  224. Clean the sealing surfaces of the cylinder block in the following sequence.
    1. Remove any large deposits of silicone or gasket material.
    2. Apply silicone gasket remover and allow to set for several minutes.
